AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional ring sampler sampling methods require expanding the sampling area, which can easily disturb the surrounding compacted soil. Furthermore, the sampling speed is slow, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.

Method used

The ring cutter design driven by a threaded rod uses a forward rotation of the threaded rod to cause the pressure plate to lower the ring cutter and compress the soil sample, while the reverse rotation of the threaded rod removes the soil sample. Combined with the semi-cylinder splicing structure, this reduces soil disturbance and improves sampling efficiency.

Benefits of technology

This reduces soil disturbance, improves sampling speed and efficiency, and ensures soil sample integrity.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of undisturbed soil sampling technology, specifically to an undisturbed soil sampling device for a ring cutter. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are two main methods for testing compaction: nuclear density metering and ring sampling. Ring sampling is the most commonly used method. Soil bulk density is the ratio of the weight of a certain volume of soil (including soil particles and interparticle pores) after drying to the weight of the same volume of water. Soil bulk density can be used to calculate the weight of the topsoil and soil porosity over a certain area; it can also serve as an indicator of soil maturity, with higher-maturity soils having lower bulk density.

[0003] Traditional ring sampler sampling methods require expanding the sampling area when digging out the ring sampler with a shovel, which can easily disturb the surrounding compacted soil. In addition, traditional ring sampler sampling methods are slow, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a undisturbed soil sampling device for ring cutters, which solves the problem that the traditional ring cutter sampling method requires expanding the sampling area when digging out the ring cutter with a shovel, which easily disturbs the surrounding compacted soil. At the same time, it also solves the problems of slow sampling speed, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and inefficient traditional ring cutter sampling methods.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a undisturbed soil sampling device for a ring cutter, comprising a base, two guide columns symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper end of the base, a bearing beam fixedly connected to the upper end of the guide columns, a threaded rod passing through the middle position of the bearing beam, the threaded rod being threadedly connected to the bearing beam, a pressure plate rotatably connected to the lower end of the threaded rod, the two ends of the pressure plate being slidably connected to the guide columns, a ring cutter installed at the lower end of the pressure plate, and a through hole opened on the base corresponding to the position of the ring cutter.

[0006] By adopting the above structural design, the pressure plate drives the ring cutter to press the soil sample into the ring cutter by rotating the threaded rod in the forward direction. When the soil sample is removed, the threaded rod is rotated in the reverse direction to make the pressure plate drive the ring cutter to rise, so that the ring cutter can be removed from the soil. This reduces the damage to the road surface and improves the sampling efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, a sleeve is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pressure plate, the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with an internal thread, the outer wall of the upper end of the ring cutter is provided with an external thread, and the ring cutter is threadedly connected to the sleeve.

[0008] With the above structural design, the ring cutter is fixed under the pressure plate by a threaded connection, which facilitates the installation and removal of the ring cutter.

[0009] Preferably, the ring cutter is composed of a first half-cylinder and a second half-cylinder joined together. A strip is fixedly connected to the side wall of the first half-cylinder near the second half-cylinder, and a slot matching the strip is opened on the side wall of the second half-cylinder near the first half-cylinder.

[0010] By adopting the above structural design, two semi-cylindrical structures are spliced ​​together to form a ring cutter through a plug-in method, which improves the overall shape of the ring cutter. At the same time, opening the ring cutter can ensure the integrity of the sampled soil and improve sampling efficiency.

[0011] Preferably, the upper end of the threaded rod is provided with a rotating handle.

[0012] The above structural design, with its rotating handle, allows users to easily control the rotation of the threaded rod.

[0013] Preferably, the base has a threaded hole, and a positioning cone is threaded into the threaded hole.

[0014] By adopting the above structural design, the base is fixed to the ground by the positioning cone, which improves the stability of the device during sampling.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] By rotating the threaded rod in the forward direction, the pressure plate drives the ring cutter to press the soil sample into the ring cutter in a uniform downward squeezing manner. When removing the soil sample, rotating the threaded rod in the reverse direction causes the pressure plate to drive the ring cutter upward, thus removing the ring cutter from the soil. This reduces damage to the road surface and improves sampling efficiency. By splicing two semi-cylindrical structures into a ring cutter through a plug-in method, the overall shape of the ring cutter is improved. At the same time, opening the ring cutter ensures the integrity of the sampled soil, further improving sampling efficiency. Attached Figure Description
